Twilight of Shepherd and Calamity

Ch21 Before storm

Walking in a little fashionable and lively town in Marlind, they enjoyed a day in pleasant sunshine. Now they are following Rohan to the place being the narrative of tradition in the town, buzzers around the environment ring the wild strength and kindness of nature. The town well conserved the nature with the culture that the whole forest there kept. The great tree stands in the ancient forest with it, embraces all the end and beginning of lives with kindness. Sunlight leaks through leaves on trees shine the earth with blessing, the evening twilight somehow highlights the majesty in the place.

The seraph wants to proclaim the message to the boy, which may be the prologue of upheaval.

There's an ancient phrase "calm before the storm", then the storm will start to destruct all the peaceful moment left in the past second, thus people enjoy and prepare in the last moment of peace.

Rohan always narrowed his eyes, even Sorey never see his eyes opening, but now he opened his eyes, which makes the thing seems more important now,

"Shepherd Sorey. I have an important request for you." Rohan said with a serious tone.

"Though I am no longer a Shepherd, I will help as I could, and would you mind her be here as an audience?" Sorey declares his ability and tries not to exclude Velvet from the conversation.

"It will be fine. I don't mind more people to hear recent situations."

"Though I may not help." Velvet declared her stand, she always avoids involving in unnecessary cases unless it is related to her.

"It will be fine. I don't expect everyone will help." Rohan gazed Velvet and said in a flat tone. He has seen so many selfish people, so he is not surprised or angered by Velvet's opinion as he is neither a saint too. He is also hiding in a safe place to avoid capture.

"Just a reminder to keep your friend safe." Normin Attak jumped down from the shoulder of Sorey, walked out with the interesting sound of steps.

"Hi, Attak, nice to see you." Bienfu greeted Attak when he just came back from running errands for them the snacks as Edna ordered.

"Hi, Breyve. What have you brought?" Attak greet back and clearly feed the conversation out track.

Edna snickered when she heard the name.

"...Breyve......."Velvet also smirked as she remembered something. She still doesn't think Bienfu is brave enough for his name, all her companion teased him once for the name Breyve.

"Bien---! I tell you not to use this name.........just call me Bienfu!" Bienfu cried and be shy as he saw Velvet and Edna reaction, but he still continues to hand out his foods.

"Cough, cough. Well, let's back on the topic." Rohan saw the chain of reaction between Bienfu and Velvet but he decided not to ask and continue to bring on the topic. He still stays cautious as he thinks Velvet has a dangerous atmosphere around her. Velvet didn't smile all the way and somehow showing a ferocious and tough glare to him, she is on the alert to him.

"Yes, please," Sorey said, and everyone is silent.

"Have you noticed that seraphim in outside here are like disappeared?"

"Not really, since we haven't been to many places, but we have heard that from other seraphim," Sorey recalled the words from Ophelia, the seraph choose to stay with the human to collect information and avoid the danger in outside. The problem may be more serious than the malevolence issue.

Edna tensed up when she heard, she added: "Zaveid has warned me too."

She recalled sometime the wind Seraphim brought with a human girl who looks like Velvet and another seraph to visit her.
